Marc Schlosser, 'n huisdokter, begaan 'n mediese fout en as gevolg
daarvan sterf een van sy pasiente. Schlosser moet voor die Mediese
Raad verskyn om verantwoording te doen. Schlosser is nie te
bekommerd oor die Mediese Raad nie: Hy sal seker 'n paar maande
geskors word, wat nie te erg is nie. Wat die saak egter kompliseer,
is dat die pasient 'n baie bekende akteur, Ralph Meier, is, wat
miskien net te veel aandag gegee het aan Schlosser se pragtige
vrou, Caroline. Of hou die hele gedoente verband met wat by die
Meiers se vakansiehuis gebeur het toe die Schlosser-gesin daar op
besoek was? Soos in Die aandete is die hoofkarakter van die verhaal
ook die verteller wat net vertel wat hy wil he die leser moet weet
en so die leser aan die raai hou oor wat werklik gebeur het.
'n Vuur brand in Kassie Kasselman se binneste. Reeds as
groentjiespeurder het hy geleer dat jy altyd afsydig moet staan van 'n
saak, anders maak jy oordeelsfoute. Maar hierdie saak krioel in sy
binneste soos 'n bondel giftige slange. Die gedagte aan die kinders,
aan wat hulle moet meemaak . . . En die slagoffers gil desperaat om
hulp. In Medusa boor Van Rensburg 'n nuwe, donkerder aar oop vir ons
geliefde speurder kaptein Kassie Kasselman.

Some secrets are too dangerous to keep . . .
TWO SUSPICIOUS DEATHS
When Dwayne and Alice Odom are killed, the police report states clearly
that it was a drug overdose. So why is their daughter, who was there
when they died, claiming that’s not the truth?
ONE YOUNG SURVIVOR
Betsy Odom doesn’t trust the police but when she finds herself in the
FBI’s custody after her parents’ deaths, she knows she has to be
careful. Her uncle wants to adopt her and as he is a very rich and
powerful man, she wants to let him. His criminal connections, however,
mean the authorities aren’t so sure.
ONE MAN ON THE RUN
Enter Travis Devine. Trying to escape a skilled predator who wants him
dead, Devine finds himself as Betsy’s bodyguard. But when an informant
is found murdered, Devine knows this job is perhaps even more dangerous
than the one he’s running from . . . and the true enemy may be on his
side.
In this classic British mystery, a revised will, a troubled
upper-class marriage, and a crazed witness shake up a seemingly
solved murder case. Marion Grey is growing used to the idea that
her husband will never leave prison. After the horrors of a very
public trial she's almost able to find relief in her resignation.
But when new evidence suggests her husband may be innocent after
all, she hires a professional--Miss Maud Silver--to clear his name.
It begins with a chance encounter on a busy train, when a friend of
Marion's meets a half-mad woman who claims to know something of the
Grey case. With her is a man who disappeared during the trial--and
may have information that could set Marion's husband free. But who
is he, and where has he gone? To find out, demure
governess-turned-detective Miss Silver must track him down before
becoming a victim herself. In a series that's a delightful blend of
Downton Abbey and Agatha Christie, retired schoolteacher and sleuth
Miss Silver "has her place in detective fiction as surely as Lord
Peter Wimsey or Hercule Poirot" (Manchester Evening News).
Governess-turned-sleuth Miss Silver must follow a trail of
poison-pen letters to save an heiress from murder. Rachel Treherne
has always had a steady head on her shoulders; it's why her late
father named her the sole trustee of his considerable fortune. But
the decision galled a number of Rachel's relatives, including her
married older sister, her socialist nephew, and her father's
ambitious young cousin. Rachel fears she may be overreacting to the
anonymous letters she's received threatening her life, but then
someone tampers with the chocolates she bought herself. If her
cousin hadn't partaken first and noticed an unwholesome taste, who
knows what may have happened? Miss Silver suspects someone in
Rachel's inner circle has grown tired of being a poor relation, and
she travels incognito to the Treherne country home to unmask the
culprit--before it's too late--in this intriguing entry in the
beloved series featuring a contemporary of Agatha Christie's Miss
Marple. Lonesome Road is the 3rd book in the Miss Silver Mysteries,
but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

she’ll do everything she can to uncover the murderer. But will this be
a destination wedding to die for in more ways than one?
